The simple present is a verb tense with two main uses. We use the simple present
tense when an action is happening right now, or when it happens regularly (or

‑s or ‑es to the end.

1.12. Colors, hairstyles, height, weight, age,

Color is the impression produced by a tone of light in the visual organs, or more
accurately, it is a visual perception that is generated in the brains of humans and
other animals when interpreting the nervous signals that the photoreceptors send
to it in the retina of the eye, which in turn interpret and distinguish the different
wavelengths that they capture from the visible part of the electromagnetic
spectrum.

A hairstyle, hairdo, or haircut refers to the styling of hair, usually on the

human scalp. Sometimes, this could also mean an editing of facial or body hair.
The fashioning of hair can be considered an aspect of personal grooming, fashion,
and cosmetics, although practical, cultural, and popular considerations also
influence some hairstyles.

Height is measure of vertical distance, either vertical extent (how "tall" something
or someone is) or vertical position (how "high" a point is). For example, "The height
of that building is 50 m" or "The height of an airplane is about 10,000 m".

The weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object.The weight

is equivalent to the force exerted by a body on a point of support, caused by the
action of the local gravitational field on the mass of the body.

Age time elapsed since the birth of an individual. Any of the periods in which the
life of a person is considered divided, or any of said periods by itself.
